My friend Jenn from my Weight Watchers meeting was meeting her family downtown and we rode the train down together.  It was nice having company on the train ride in yesterday – made the hour trip go by really fast!  My sister Jenn was home sick yesterday and didn’t listen to my Instagram stories until later in the day, and when she heard “the Biz...

These low point banana muffins are still low in points as of 2023!  Back in the day, it wasn’t unusual for me eat a giant Otis Spunkmeyer banana nut muffin with a giant Dr. Pepper on my way to work.  In case anyone is counting WW points – that would be 18 points for just the muffin – and that was my “appetizer.”  I’d probably...

You’ll want to add this spicy roasted red pepper sauce to your weekly meal prep – so good! When I was making my breakfast yesterday I made a 1 point omelette and thought I needed to add some bread to that meal. Luckily my train station has a huge market and I bought a loaf of whole wheat sourdough bread – and decided to make...

I was so excited to leave work on time yesterday – it’s been a while!  I knew I had chicken breasts I needed to use up, and my first thought was to make buffalo chicken bites.  While these didn’t turn out anywhere near I thought they would in my head, what I ended up making was COPYCAT LONG JOHN SILVERS.  Yes, I am shouting that...

Mini Cherry Pies Mini Cherry Pies.  Swoon.  And you know what?  There are only 4 ingredients in these mini pies:  refrigerated pie crust, canned lite cherry filling, egg yolk (mixed with a tiny bit of water) for a wash, and a sprinkle of course sugar.  That’s it! And guess where I found the reduced calorie cherry pie filling?  The Dollar Tree – who knew?  1/3...

More chia pudding!  I love that it takes less than a minute to make, and it provides breakfast for a couple days.  5 points for this bowl – damn granola, why do you have to be so many points?! Another super busy day at work – I hope to power through today so I don’t have to stay late again – I have a goal...

I've always loved Schweddy balls, but never thought to make them with chicken.

  Let’s go back in time for a bit, shall we?  Maybe 25 years ago, I ate TWO apple fritters on the way to work.  Then I would get a frappuccino with my co-workers when I got to work.  That would be 41 points right there and it wouldn’t even be 10:00 a.m.! Lunch would be Sbarro – it was right by my old office...

I can’t wait to share this recipe for the zucchini bread – it’s a pretty big mini loaf for only four points!  But it’s my next Chopping Block blog recipe, and since they pay me for it, they get first dibs – I’ll be sure to link to it when it’s published!  This was my chocolate zucchini bread version – I could only add 3...

Breakfast nachos were on the menu yesterday for breakfast – so easy and delicious.  Only one tiny problem.  I forgot that I brought home my cheddar cheese that I usually keep in my work fridge – but the day before I tossed it back in my lunch bag.  How can you have any type of nachos without cheese?  Well guess what – you can shred...
